Laverock, Pennsylvania

Laverock is a small unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States that started as a development in the 1920s. Originally, few homes were built after the onset of the depression, and remained that way until after World War II. In the 1950s and 1960s, Split Level Homes were built around the existing stone houses. Today, it is a residential-only neighborhood known for the abundance of large black oak trees throughout. Laverock shares its zipcode with Glenside, Pennsylvania and is part of Cheltenham Township and Springfield Township.

Famous quotes containing the word pennsylvania:

    The discovery of Pennsylvania’s coal and iron was the deathblow to Allaire. The works were moved to Pennsylvania so hurriedly that for years pianos and the larger pieces of furniture stood in the deserted houses.
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
